I was really ecited when the idea of a recipe book

was suggested especially as it would contain only cake

recipes! Some of my fondest memories are of my

Gran baking. Thats me and her in the picture from

1984 I think. I especially recall her making wonderful,

y Pa a fapja. i v th th tthis ery day. My Gran played a ery important role

in my life and I think she would hae loed this idea.

A bit of cake and a cup of tea brings people together

in a happy way een if for only a few minutes.

It only remains for me to say a big thank you to

eeryone that sent in recipes. Now, close your eyes,

take a big bite and think of something nice. . .
